zerodom_new_tab

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Since there are no annotations, the description carries the behavioral burden. It discloses the key side effect: the new tab becomes active and routes all subsequent tool calls to it. It also adds useful context about the zerodom tab group in attached real-browser sessions, though it does not cover URL-omission behavior or failure modes.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is compact and well-structured: the first sentence front-loads the core purpose and activation behavior, and the second adds a relevant session detail. Every sentence earns its place with no filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The core behavior and tab-routing lifecycle are adequately described, and an output schema exists so return values need not be explained. However, the only parameter is left entirely undocumented, including its optionality and null semantics, which leaves a real gap for an agent deciding how to call the tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% and the description never mentions the 'url' parameter. An agent must infer from the property name alone that it is the URL to open. The default null behavior—whether it opens a blank tab or does something else—is completely undocumented.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb and resource: 'Open a new tab and make it the active one.' It further clarifies the behavioral consequence that all other tools target this tab until switch_tab is called, which clearly differentiates it from zerodom_switch_tab.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives clear context: after opening, every other tool acts on the new tab until you zerodom_switch_tab away. It names the exit condition and implies this is for creating a new active tab, but it does not explicitly state when to prefer switch_tab for existing tabs or list exclusions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
